You can get Composer Bridge today with one of our dedicated Patreon tiers.

Starting at just $20/month it’s safe to say we are making the Composer Bridge experience very inexpensive. However if you feel you could afford to pay such a powerful tool a bit more and would like to support us you can do so by selecting a higher amount when subscribing. Or, how about getting our Support tier for a few months? You’ll be able to revert to the Pro tier any time you like.

Subscribers of the Support tier can enjoy 3 monthly 1-to-1 sessions to further personalise their Composer Bridge experience.

Start using this revolutionary tool today, knowing that with your Patreon subscription you are helping us make it even better!

Composer Bridge is currently in a working-prototype stage. We will continue its development and offer all future updates to patrons with a standing Patreon subscription to a tier that includes Composer Bridge.

Since ease of customisation wasn't the main focus during the design phase, adapting it to your own setup may require a high degree of proficiency with all the following applications: Digital Performer, Vienna Ensemble Pro, Kontakt, MIR, Keyboard Maestro, Lemur Editor on your computer and Lemur on a touch device.

You will need to install the latest version of all the above applications in order to run Composer Bridge on your setup as shown in our videos. We have no affiliation with the software companies developing said applications and it will be your responsibility to purchase a valid license for each.

It is possible to adapt the touch interface component to a setup that does not include all of the software (thus limiting Composer Bridge functionalities) but we won't be able to offer dedicated support for such a scenario other than during the 1-to-1 sessions included in our Support tier.

We advice to carefully consider whether or not to subscribe to one of the tiers that include Composer Bridge to those who don't feel having proficiency with the listed applications.

Aside from the above-mentioned applications, you will need your own collection of virtual instruments as none is provided with Composer Bridge.

Composer Bridge is currently being developed and tested on Apple hardware, therefore support specific for Windows machines will not be provided at this stage.

No refund will be issued once the assets have been accessed.

By starting our Patreon subscriptions you you agree to Patreon's Terms of Use. After the initial payment Patreon will process a new payment on the first day of each month.

What is Composer Bridge?

A few months ago I decided to overhaul my orchestral template. As many colleagues will know this meant going down the rabbit hole… After putting together a sample template on Vienna Ensemble Pro and Digital Performer I decided to program my own touch interfaces with Lemur. After countless hours of work and research I now have a system that I could have only dreamt of before. Since this system conveniently makes touch operations available right in front of the user, I decided to call it Composer Bridge, after a ship bridge (or command deck).

Composer Bridge is an advanced feature-packed inter-application workflow-system. It is deeply integrated with MOTU Digital Performer and features some amazing functionalities that make it unique.

Record-enable your track of choice by tapping on an instrument in the instrument selector tab.

Control your instruments through ad hoc control windows. See your midi controls move in sync with DP thanks to bi-directional MIDI communication.

No, you will be able to keep all the files you have got access to until ending your subscription. However you won't be able to download any update that will be distributed subsequently. Please do take in consideration all the hard work that went into creating Composer Bridge and the various resources you'll find on Film Scoring Tips and consider keeping your subscription for at least a few months.

No, Composer Bridge is currently in a working-prototype stage. By subscribing to a tier that include Composer Bridge you are supporting Film Scoring Tips and the development of various services, such as Composer Bridge. Subscribers of the tiers that include Composer Bridge will have access to the current version of the tool among other content provided exclusively by Film Scoring Tips.

You can ask for a refund if you haven't yet accessed your files and within 48hr of starting your Patreon subscription. At the time of the request we will check if your profile has accessed any asset, in case it has you won't be eligible for a refund.

Since Composer Bridge is currently in a working-prototype stage, traditional customer support is not included in our Patreon subscriptions. However we offer 1-to-1 e-meetings to help users install and use Composer Bridge on their systems. Look for the Support tier if this is something you'd like.
